Introduction
In the event that the health authorities announce a new period of confinement due to the evolution of
the health crisis caused by COVID-19, the teaching staff will promptly communicate how this may effect
the teaching methodologies and activities as well as the assessment.
Anthropology is knowledge about human being. Education implies the development of one’s own personality and potential. The centrality of human being as a shared aspect of both Anthropology and Education is the fundamental issue that this subject develops. Retrieving and updating classic thought, we believe that both Anthropology and Education begin with the knowledge and the transformation of oneself. This necessarily means an approchement and becoming closer to other people, and a better ability to meet their needs. Refining our thinking, our attitudes and our emotions, we get closer to nature and to the social environment surrounding us. In this way we become more competent both in a professional and a human sense.
Pre-course requirements
None.
Objectives
It aims to bring the student to a better understanding of themselves, others and the environment (ecological , social, historical, cultural). This type of human progress is the foundation that enables them to teach young people, bringing them closer to understanding, sensitivity and values that the teacher will recognize in himself and in life experience. To do this it's important to go beyond the ideological thinking (stereotyped), breaking many schemes mechanically received from the media and unilinear systems of thought that dominate everyday life. Thus the student learns to develop critical reflection correctly and creatively, and discover increasingly one's original thought, putting it in direct harmony with himself, others, the world and time . Educating themselves in freedom, they are trained to educate others .
